Tangerine For You

It seems that every year, there's one of SU!'s In Colors that doesn't grow on me, even by the end of the year. The first year, it was Vintage Violet, last year it was Wild Wasabi, and this year, it's been Tangerine Tango. I pushed myself to find a way to use it for Kristina's latest color inspiration challenge. It's paired with two other colors that I do use often--So Saffron and Chocolate Chip--plus white, so I thought I might be able to pull it off.

My card is based on this weekend sketch challenge, which helped me to pull it together pretty quickly. I used some Tangerine Tango patterned paper from SU!'s now retired Haiku designer paper pack for the large panel on the cardfront. I really liked the colors and patterns in this pack, so I made sure to get one more pack before it retired.

My pre-order stuff from the upcoming mini catalog arrived earlier this week and I had to try it out, too. The "for you" sentiment on the oval is from the Great Friend set. The butterfly image is from this set, too. I stamped it in So Saffron ink on white cardstock and trimmed closely around it, then placed it on the panel with dimensionals. I added a pair of Chocolate Chip felt flowers with brads at the centers to the other end of the oval, then attached it to the cardfront.

I'm off to our community's Month of the Young Child celebration for a while this morning. My afternoon plans include coming home and catching up on some DVR'd General Hospital episodes, maybe watching some college hockey, and, of course, some stamping!
